Those shelters remind me of the type seen in Coventry Transport days! Open ended n-shape with the roof sloping towards the road that lasted into the PTE days (a few well into the WMT era).

I hope you didn't embarrass the guy on the ladders who's swapping over the flag, the 360a/360c flag was initially put up on this bay until someone noticed the error.

On bus advertising for the 12X shows pink and purple branding, be interesting to see if they put that on.

How much of the garage is visible from the outside ?! I.e. On a Sunday if I was to go to the garage, would I see hardly anything or will most of the buses be parked up in viewing distance.

Not much if anything, why not just get photos of buses in service?

I saw 4411 on the 5 earlier with 'centro subsidised route' on the side display, is this a new thing or have I just not noticed it before? Also seemed like the side display, along with 4689, scroll much quicker than usual.

Photos of buses in service are fairly common, garages themselves I find to be comparatively rare.
